Remote Air Cooled Condenser
Space and Location Requirements
The most important consideration which must be taken into account when deciding upon the locations of air-cooled
equipment is spacing. The air cooled condenser should be located so that ambient air may circulate freely. The
heated air from the condenser should not be recirculated. Where this essential requirement is not adhered to, it will
result in higher head pressures, which cause poor operation and possible eventual failure of equipment. Units must
not be located in the vicinity of steam, hot air, or fume exhausts.
Another consideration which must be taken is that the unit should be mounted away from noise sensitive spaces and
must have adequate support to avoid vibration and noise transmission into the building. Units should be mounted
over corridors, utility areas, rest rooms, and other auxiliary areas where high levels of sound are not an important
factor. Sound and structural consultants should be retained for recommendations.
The unit should be installed with enough side clearance for proper airflow to the coil and for servicing. See Figure
4-8 for recommended minimum clearances.
WALLS OR OBSTRUCTIONS
The unit should be located so that air may circulate freely and not be re-circulated. For proper air flow and access
all coil sides of the units should be a minimum of 6-feet away from any wall or obstruction (see Figure 4-9). It is
preferred that this distance be increased whenever possible. Care should be taken to see that ample room is left for
maintenance work through access doors and panels. Overhead obstructions are not permitted. When the unit is in
an area where it is enclosed by three walls, the unit must be installed as indicated for units in a pit.
